Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Paul added each weight before adding, as you state, he got:

Apples 3.78 ⟶ 3.8

Peaches 2.12 ⟶ 2.1

Oranges 4.45 ⟶ 4.4

Total 10.3 lb

If he did it this way, he did it incorrectly, and his answer isn't in the list of options, anyway. That's because his method introduces round-off errors.

The correct way is to add the numbers as given, and then round off at the end.

Apples 3.78

Peaches 2.12

Oranges 4.45

Total 10.35 ⟶ 10.4 lb

Note: When you drop a 5 followed by nothing, you round off to the nearest even number.

How would you divide 0.294/3?

Arte-miy333 [17]

$0.294:3= \frac{\big{294}}{\big{1000}} \cdot \frac{\big{1}}{\big{3}} = \frac{\big{2\cdot3\cdot49}}{\big{2\cdot500}} \cdot \frac{\big{1}}{\big{3}} = \frac{\big{49}}{\big{500}} \\\\\\0.294:3=(0.098\cdot3):3=0.098$
